What are Durood-e-Taj, Lakhi, and Akbar? What is Haikul?

Fatwa 4522English
Beliefs and Practices (Aqeedah)

Question

[All these appear in the "Panj Surah" from India/Pak.] Where and how did these originate? Should these be recited?

Answer

These forms of Durood are not based on any Hadith. While the wordings may be correct; erroneous and over exadurated virtues are attached to some of these Duroods. It is thus best to confine oneself to the forms of Durood found in the Ahaadith. An example of the correct forms of Durood is the forty Durood compiled by Hazrat Maulana Muhammad Zakariyya R.A.
